Set up VPN connection via Command Line Client

From time to time VPN connections hang up, a manual Reconnect usually costs a lot of time and energy. To create an Automatic Reconnect using a batch script, do the following.

Start your Notepad:

  • under Windows XP under Start –> Run –> notepad
  • Windows 7 Start — > notepad

Then write the following lines.

  • rasdial „your VPN connection“ /disconnect
  • rasdial „your VPN connection“

In our case:

  • rasdial 3DataManager /disconnect
  • rasdial 3Datamanager

Now we save the script to our script directory and add a task to our Tasmanager:

  • Windows XP –> Start –> Programs –> Accessories –> Windows Task Manager
  • Windows 7 –> Start –> All Programs –> Accessories –> System Programs –> Task Planning

we start our script every 6 hours so there will certainly be a stable connection.

I hope I could help you with my guidance.
